This communication reports on the occurrence of colonization by Panstrongylus megistus in an urban park in the municipality of São Paulo, Brazil.
Entomological research includes active search for vectors based on notifications by the population and identification and examination of insects.
A colony of triatomines was found to be associated with enclosed birds.
The occurrence of P. megistus has already been reported in the city of São Paulo; however, reports of colonization by this species provide evidence of its potential for the occupation of artificial ecotopes, which may pose a risk to the human population.
